5 A Day The Color Way

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

An article about a slogan for a organization which lacks an article itself. This seems to demonstrate a lack of notability for the slogan/programme itself. &spades;P M C&spades; 19:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete If the organization isn't notable, the slogan sure isn't. OhNo itsJamie Talk 20:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the article has merit, if only because it represents the food "color code" of eating 5-10 differently colored foods per day, a valuable message in today's supersized society. Why not just alter the article title simply to Color Code and link it with pages where dietary guidance is provided?

Two relevant books: Joseph JA et al., The Color Code, Hyperion, NY, 2002. Heber H., What Color Is Your Diet?, HarperCollins, NY, 2001.--Paul144 21:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't think advertising slogans are notable unless they are referred to outside of the ads--the ads just indicate that some interest group or company has tried to make them notable. As for the references: The Dole link goes to "Dole super Kids," their new name for "5 a day"--this particular slogan is not even mentioned;  the Cal State link just go to "5 a day,"  again this slogan is not mentioned,  the USC list is just posted at some indeterminate place on their site, the Sunkist site indicates that this has superseded "5 a Day" as their slogan in which case the article can be merged. & then we can discuss whether either form of the slogan should be kept.
